Great result shame we've left it a bit too late for this push. Let's try get a perfect end to the season (which means palace dropping out of play offs to!) and push on for next year. Who knows with a couple new decent signings and loanees what we could do next season...
Started well enough until Hughes had to come off. Pretty scrappy after that. Green and Obika both made a positive impact but thought Gower struggled, though he did get better towards the end. All in all, a narrow victory was a fair result. Wolves look a very poor side.
Bit of a flat game but don't underestimate the impact of losing Hughes and Jackson through injury.
Wolves might just be the worst side to visit The Valley this season and look down and desperate. It's hard to break that losing mnetality as we know too well here.
Playoffs? Why not? We have to keep going until it's impossible. Overall, a great first season back. Powell you are a genius.
Too many players not at the races for my liking. Hamer once again lacking concentration for the goal and several other occasions. ShootersHillGuru bolickings for Morrison, Hamer, Jackson, Kermorgant and Fuller. All below par. Just as well Wolves are awful. Note to SCP. Sign Obika.
Never had a shot till Green came on. Then 2 shots in 2 minutes. Goal inside 5 minutes.
Hmm? You've forgotten the first half Fuller shot that was saved by virtue of their goalie being lucky in that he was in the right position, he didn't know much about the shot...

I would imagine the Cardiff game midweek took quite a bit out of the boys. Forgiven for todays slightly lackluster performance in my books.
Pritchard is probably too lightweight for a central midfield position in a 4-4-2, he was outmuscled too often... Agree that Green added an attacking option but he seem to be a bit nonchalant? Resigned to move on in the summer, perhaps...
Obika .. super sub .. a nice ability to score in the last minute of normal time. Things are looking bright for next season if the squad is kept nearly intact

Yeah fair point but bollock them anyway. We are not at home to complacency ;0)
What a poor side Wolves are, and dirty. Glad they're in the relegation zone and hope we don't have to play them next year.
Not a great game though - felt like a typical end of season run-out when neither team needed anything out of the game - strange considering Wolves really could've done with a win.
Just in and posting before reading. That was an icy stab through the heart of Wolverhampton Wanderers I would say, although I don't know the other results. We were the better team, just about deserved to win a very poor game, and we have played much better than that this season, even in home defeats. There were about four chances made...the best one was the shot from their Henry fellow that hit the angle of post and crossbar..and three goals. Our first goal was about as scrappy as you can get, poor corner, chite defending, and a scramble stabbed in, the other two goals were better, and for Obika to come up with the winner again...I thought he was not much of a player, but he has won us four points so what do I know? Wolves reminded me of Bristol City when we played them down there, rudderless and playing from memory and have the smell of relegation about them...in fact a bit like us when we were relegated under Parkinson...none of their players particularly impressed me. We were about average, with maybe Dervite as our best player, we didn't have to be much good to win. I feel sorry for any loyal Wolves fans...but they should've spent on the team and not the stand in the summer, and of course should not have sacked McCarthy. Three lovely points mind.
I couldn't believe wolves didn't press us high up the pitch thought their scouting system must be worse than their mgr and players as they never put pressure on us until ten to go

Also good to see Green have an impact.

A great day.
The loss of both CMs was a big contributer to that I believe
Glad we beat them as I think they are a woefull football team with a mgr I don't like and hunt is a dirty bstd
Good 3 points and a great end to season for the home fans with 3 wins on the bounce
Then 2 shots in 2 minutes.
Goal inside 5 minutes.

Thought they were rubbish. Total lack of ambition from the off. Don't like Wolves. Their fans always seem like they're stuck in the 70's to me.
Yep, three matches in a week all with an unchanged side.
Not a great game though - felt like a typical end of season run-out when neither team needed anything out of the game - strange considering Wolves really could've done with a win.
Losing Hughes didn't help as Gower looked like a player whose hardly played for months ie well off the pace until late on.
Morrison poor but dervite good, Hamer standing watching for the long range shot and their goal.
Green did really well when he came on but that must be one of his worst deliveries that lead to the first goal.
Obika does it again. Both goals scrappy ones that go against you when you are going down.
Ref seemed happy with Wolves physical game and as they were bigger than us it helped them more than it us.
But three points at home again. As it has been all season the margin between success and failure were very slim. Today it went our way.
Off to Boro with no worries and no expectations other than another three points.
